Tickle Your Imperial Fantasies With This Dining Promotion at Luxury Courtyard Hotel Cours et Pavillons

Walking among the high walls of Beijing’s hutongs often sparks curiosity about the courtyards and stories hidden away on the other side of them. Symmetrical courtyards, flower-lined walls, and ornamented doorways are just a few elements of the classic courtyard residence. Nestled in the hutongs near Zhangzizhong Lu, lavish courtyard hotel Cours et Pavillons boasts all of these elements and more. 

Comprised of four rooms, each facing a spacious courtyard, the hotel whisks you away from the buzz of the 21st century Beijing and straight back to the Ming dynasty. The interior of the hotel, which combines traditional Chinese architecture with modern glass elements, radiates peace. 

If an overnight stay in the hotel (or as we like to call it, a cheeky staycation) does not fit in with your schedule, Cours et Pavillons is offering guests the perfect excuse to experience this imperial luxury for themselves with an a la carte dining promotion that offers a discount of RMB 100 for every RMB 600 spent. The promotion runs until Nov 4; scan the QR code below to redeem the coupon or scan the interactive code to enter the hotel's mini program, where you can purchase the voucher and other deals.

Located on the side of the main lobby, the intimate restaurant suits everything from romantic dates to formal business dinners. The menu includes both all-time favorite dishes and contemporary takes on classics. A typical dinner might start with baked escargot (RMB 120) or seared foie gras (RMB 130). Main courses are a delight for meat lovers, including New Zealand lamb chops (RMB 400) served with couscous and a twist of curry sauce or roasted Australian wagyu beef (RMB 888) with a classic port wine jus. 

Be sure to leave room for dessert, with a choice of both lighter options, such as a selection of sorbets (RMB 168), and richer, creamier options like white peach and rose petal mousse (RMB 168). For those with less of a sweet tooth, a cheese (RMB 300) or Joselito ham (RMB 880) platter would be the perfect final bite after a great meal.

In addition to dinner, Cours et Pavillons also serves a great value afternoon tea. A party of two can enjoy a full afternoon tea set for RMB 398 (plus 15 percent service charge). The high tea adheres to authentic English traditions, so you can be assured of a memorable experience.

Many of us may have wandered around the grey brick walls and red wooden gates of the hutongs without ever having peeked inside the elegantly crafted courtyards. Cours et Pavillons offers a taste of imperial splendor as well as a tasty dining experience.
